We urge the public to remain alert to fraudulent scams involving individuals who purport to be employees of the Federal Reserve Bank. Federal Reserve Banks do not maintain any type of funds or accounts for individuals, nor do Federal Reserve Banks directly e-mail or call individuals holding accounts at commercial banks regarding suspected suspicious activity in those accounts.
Again, Federal Reserve Banks will never contact the public via unsolicited phone calls or e-mails asking for money or any type of personal information.
If you have any questions, please contact the Federal Reserve Bank Financial Intelligence and Investigations Unit staff via the Report.Fraud@ny.frb.org email address.
